*How many of these procedures have you performed? *Can I see Before and After pictures of this procedure? *Are there people I can speak with who have had this procedure? *Do you work with insurance for reconstructive surgery? (If yes): What is your track record for getting approval for this procedure? *Are you a Board-certified plastic surgeon? *What is your policy regarding "touch-ups" if I need them following my recovery? *What kind of results can I expect? *What do I need to do to get ready and what will my recovery be like? *Will I need help at home the first day or so? *Does this procedure require a hospital stay or is it done outpatient? *What kind of pre-op testing do you require? Is it your experience that insurance covers these? *Is all my follow-up care included in the price of the surgery? *What kind of complications can occur and what is done about them? ******************************************************* I'm sure I'll think of more but that's good for a start!
